Cogswell 1949 Colaptes cafer -1 Aug.8-19 Big Lagoon, Humboldt Co., Calif. occasionally heard in valley of maple creek near our camp; but several were noted on each trip into the 3. year old burn (Aug.10,18) and the "chaparral" covered slope E. of the lagoon. In the latter habitat they were seen perched on fence- posts projecting but slightly above the brush- salal-azalea canopy, and also flying up from the ground in one open place in brush. A few "songs" (i.e., long series of single notes) were heard in the 3. year old burn area. Aug.20-26 French Camp, 3100 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif. 1 or 2 heard or seen daily in * near our camp, in open Douglas Fir-Tanbark oak forest. They were also noted (1) in Harry oak woodland NW of Schoolhouse Creek, and in mixed forest border of balds near Coyote Peak. Sep.3 2 1/2 mi. N Willow Creek 500 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif. 7:40 a.m. I collected 1 ? plumaged individual from a group of 3 tall (Quercus kelloggii) trees at the border of the oak-madrona forest described on p.93 (Habitat #3). The area here is a mixture of the various oakman trees, well-spaced with bracken, black- berry, klamath weed, and half coffeeberry between an open grass (stubble) and corn field of the Patterson Ranch is immediately adjacent. Upon opening the stomach of this bird I found it to contain 3 large berries (sp.?) and 1 beetle larva. The species has been heard occasionally in this vicinity for several days.
